The YAS-706 is a robust soundbar that can challenge Sonos as a unit around which you can build a multiroom system. It features 4K support and a bevy of inputs, which the Sonos Playbar lacks.

Clear, full vocals and dialog, Abundant ways to connect video and audio sources, Robust MusicCast app
-
-
Treble and bass lack precision when you're listening to music, No automated room correction
The pricey Yamaha YAS-706 soundbar handles both movies and music with a strong mix of power, balance, and connectivity.
-
+
Powerful, room-filling sound. Sculpted highs ensure dialogue can be clearly heard. Lots of connection and streaming options.
-
-
Expensive. Simulated surround sound doesn't offer particularly good directional imaging.
I'd say this product is well defined by the saying "Good, not great". Sound quality is average, and as other reviews note the subwoofer is very underpowered. The wireless integration was extremely easy to get running, but has had a few issues requiring re-setup.
-
+
Easy setup, overall consistent use. Has dedicated remote. Lot's of connection options.
-
-
Sound quality is par at best, and doesn't fill a large space well. Subwoofer far too small/underpowered, not tight/dynamic, even for TV watching.
I have owned three sound bars, and this one broadcasts treble, midrange and bass much further across a room than anything I have encountered previously. The sound is warm and balanced. It is connected via HDMI to a Oppo bluray player, as well as to a Yamaha amp via analog inputs.
-
+
Excellent acoustic range in a medium sized living room. Amazing amount of inputs!
-
-
Subwoofer, while acceptable, is somewhat subpar. The cloth mesh screen is prone to damage, and the output needs to be cranked up all the way to 100%. Position this subwoofer in a corner and allow the walls to help out.
Being a MusicCast user already, installation & set-up was simple. Great bass, sound programs and Clear Voice options not dramatic but do work. Sound Bar can be used as stand alone unit or with Yamaha MusicCast receiver for use with internet music services.

MusicCast Integration & set-up

Clear Voice option could be better
I can only review this for music and radio. I very much like the MusicCast system and this is my 4th room. I have the unit mounted on my wall in my master bedroom that is about 20x20ft. The sound is great.
This sounbad and sub are replacing a full yahama/Bose surround system. I am not disappointed rather surprised at the quality of music. Movies and tv are fine but to me it's music where this system really proves itself. The musiccast app is a little finicky at times but does work.

Wireless sub, great for music

Musically app connection can be spotty
This sound bar rocks. those with bad out of the box units when they first were shipped had them replaced. I'm an installer of these Music Casts products. I know first hand, they pack the power and connectivity to rival any other sound bar.

HDMI ARC, included subwoofer, full surround sound, expandable whole home audio, wall mountable and Music Cast app (which gets better with every update).

You need the tiny remote for setup. Don't lose it.
Great for a smaller room

Great sound

Music Cast doesn't seem to work to well
Great sound. Simple setup. Easy to use. I wish it was a little louder for when we really want to rock out, but it is pretty loud for a sound bar. I am very pleased with it.
-
+
Easy set up. Very clean sound with full range of sound.
